TO THE COUNCIL OF PEOPLE'S COMMISSARS

Early December 1918

I happened to be at the theater on Sunday in the "soviet" box, where railway workers were present. I think that the resolution of the Council of People's Commissars which we had previously cancelled—concerning a permanent box exclusively for the Council of People's Commissars—should be redesigned so that the permanent box would be shared by the Council of People's Commissars, the Moscow Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies, the All-Russian Council of Trade Unions, and the Central Executive Committee. Distribution could be done "proportionally."
